It may be worth it to sit in the tent just to be sure, but it sounds like you are rather sure it's not light related- so that's good.
I tried that today before the lights fliped and i cant see 1" in front of my face. i sat there for about 15min, pitch black.
CO2 as a sufficient stress factor? I suppose it's possible, but I've not encountered such in my experience.
only thing im doin different now before losing my sour d's was add co2 tanks and sealed rooms. before i was running with negative pressure. no supp co2
Although, synthetic bloom boosters have done it to me in the past. I'm not sure what your program is, just throwing it out there. I don't stray from the organic path anymore after Bloombastic and some Soul Synthetics product I forget the name of have both caused terrific damage the only time I had used them. Others think they are great products though, so who's to say.
i did use ONE dose of mad farmer
moab as instructeed to try from reading the other thread on here about the
MOAB/hammerhead combo, beginning week 2 at half strength which was like nothin.
all im using is the GH 3 part and beginning wk 5 i hit em with a little pk boost (kool bloom), nothing else.
I tend to feel, generally, the same as you about feminized genes being of questionable quality, and I am always weary until they prove stable. Part of me feels like it's a very "western" approach to breeding- the scientific method versus a more "natural" way.
Another side of me acknowledges that without feminized genetics in the form of S1, much of Soma's work -among some of my favorites- would not be what it is, nor would we have (for better or worse) the proliferation of everything chem/diesel/og. I am one of the people that don't particularly feel that diesels make up the top of the genetic ladder, but I'd be lying or uninformed if I said that some of the hybrids weren't among the strongest selections available today.
Im not trying to crap on the female seed party but fuck if it goes wrong and it did it can and will if not caught early destroy everything youve spent 4 months workin on. This was the first time i ran an entire scrog net. i didnt enjoy it and wont be doing it again it makes it hard to tend to plants in the back.
I bought GHS, my bad, i will never do again believe me. i didnt even know the bay had gear until after i was already in the boat with GHS, and after i found out i did grab canna ventures last pack of purple berry bx, and boy its a beauty! smells like a bag of grape jelly. its full of seeds but its pretty..lol
after the light test i cut out the scrog net to find out exactly which plants were fucked.. every plant had seeds and the GHS plants were in the front 2 rows so i cant really see anything beyond them.
after tearing the screen out and carefully inspecting each plant it was clear that the problem came from only two of the strains, the "white rhino" ( hermed just nodes) plants along with the bubba 76 plants from emerald triangle herming the worst ( buds and nodes).
i removed those plants and left the others to finish there dutyproly not worth it to some but its only 2-3 wks left. steaked everything best i could with bamboo steaks, lotta branches broke off during all this. i gottta try and make the best of whats in there atleast its somthin to hold me down for a min.
so i am sorry for implying that all female seeds are party crashers. eight out of the 10 strains are not hermies as of yet. and according to some report i read off CC i think it said like 20 percent of female seed will herm, especially if under any stress. i donno. thats about right 2 out of 10 strains.
